Don't rain on my parade, Franklin. It been a lifelong dream to start the monthly pickup tread, and I got up at 5 in the morning, praying I would be first. :D:D:D

[rocarroll]

I can see why you were in such a rush to start the thread. Nice pick ups

I haven't had authentic White Castle in years!!!:eek:

[btcarfagno]

Ah yes. White Castle's rat burgers give the term "sliders" a whole new, and rather disgusting, meaning.

Lummis Peanut Butter/Sealtest Printers Proof cards.

The only two of these that were actually issued are the Rowe and the Seminick. Given the inclusion of Pennock, these were likely produced some time in 1947 or very early 1948. The sets were not released until 1949. All of the cards are different sizes, as if they were trying to find which one would work best for their needs. Not just the overall size of the proofs, but also the interior images are of different sizes.

These are so interesting as the names and the borders along the images are both raised. Just incredibly interesting stuff.

I have to think that the Pennock is his last image on a card before he passed away.

I will be making these available shortly in the BST.

Happy to pick up a decent T209-2 example for a decent price.

[T206Collector]

Extremely happy to pick up this new addition to my signed T206 collection. Long gone are the days of paying a few hundred bucks for one of these. I've never seen another Red Murray autographed T206 -- and, frankly, didn't know that this one even existed until a fellow Net54'er alerted me to last night's Hunt auction. With this addition, I now have 39 different T206 poses autographed (not including Matty and McGraw signed by their widows).

Congrats Paul on landing a new one. I watched that lot with great interest, and was both surprised (but not shocked) at the strong ending price. There are obviously at least a couple others pursuing these new examples of signed T206 cards that pop up from time to time. I always liked Red Murray and that's a great looking signature, I bet it feels good to get a new pose to add to your collection :)

[cardsfan73]

Ok so technically they are a late September pick up but I didn't get a chance to post in the September thread...

Usually all I have to share in the pre-war pick up threads are some low grade Cardinals & Browns cards (which I love!!). This time I have something a little more exciting to share! Picked up this group of 3 T206 including a Starr with Drum back. For me the find of a lifetime! I also understand the Lundgren is a somewhat tougher front/back combo too.

[btcarfagno]

Amazing find indeed on that Drum back!! Congratulations.

On the Lundgren EPDG, the tough one is the Chicago Lundgren, not the KC one.

Tom C

[T206Collector]

On the Lundgren EPDG, the tough one is the Chicago Lundgren, not the KC one.

While the Chicago one is typically understood as the rarer variation, the KC one is not an easy common either. That's a great card -- overshadowed entirely by the Drum -- :eek: -- but a great card nonetheless!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Sullivan become number 277 in the rebuilt collection. This one is from the recent Saco River Auction.

Thanks to these guys, and everyone on the board, for helping me put Howe's collection back together.

[T206Collector]

Beautiful Ed! Happy to help out on this project any time. I love it!

[The Nasty Nati]

Wow incredible find. That Lundgren EPDG is definitely tough and that Drum :eek:...where did you find such t206 treasures?

That's an impressive collection of Tolstois... But I have to say I love the Red Schoendienst rookie card!!

Great pick ups!

Some 1928 Upgrades...
1.) Sid Cohen (Tough Card!)
2.) Wally Berger (1st Ever Card of future Major League star)
3.) Dolph Camilli (1st Ever Card)
4.) Howard Burkett (Jesse Burkett's son, it is said his biggest regret in life is that Howard never made it in the Majors--apparently he couldn't hit the curveball!)

Well, after about ten years in the wilderness, not exactly like John the Baptist, and minus a London house and a wife, I, John Spencer, have returned to the US, where I am now living in Stuart, Fl on the East Coast. And what better way to start building a new life than to re-embrace my first true obsession - old baseball cards. The first order of business was to form, out of the ashes of Full Count (some might remember that fine old firm,) a new LLC, Past Ball Vintage Cards, and the second was to join this august forum. Leon and I go back away.
In keeping with the thread, although my pick up was September, I was thrilled to get in Leon's auction both E92 Harry Davis Croft Candy Red and Blue. Wow.
Nice to be back. Yoda

Love love love that Red Murray. I bowed out late. I knew the price on that would be strong. I've never seen one before.

The hardest thing for me was determining an appropriate bidding price point given the recent demand and the fact that this might be a one-of-one. I bowed out late, too -- and then got angry and put in one more bid and won it. Phew.

[Luke]

Nice Paul! Looking forward to the updated collage!

Bud Teachout was a good friend's grandfather, and I have purchased a few cards for him over the past few years. This is his earliest card (one that I already had, but wanted to keep for myself, ha)! Now, we both have one! Thanks, Rhett. Pretty sure I purchased my other example from you, too.

Good to have you back John! The old Full Count board was one of the major things that really got me back into vintage cards many years ago.

[T206Collector]

It's been a good week for signed T206 pickups! Here's my latest -- with an Old Mill back, which may be the only one of its kind. Somewhat of an upgrade for my other one, which will probably make the rounds on the B/S/T or ebay or something in the coming days or weeks.

Welcome back aboard, John! I loved hanging out on the old Full Count board the same way I like hanging out here. Both you and Mike enabled my prewar card habit although Mike was the only one who sold me an Old Judge, my true addiction! : )

Those are beautiful Turkey Reds. The McGraw is one of my favorites. I am sure you already knew that the player identified as Baker is actually Jack Barry. Lew Lipset clued me in on that juicy little fact. John

I love finding diamonds in the rough, so to speak. Bought a lot from Saco Auctions a couple of weeks ago, and was thrilled to find this gorgeous Dougherty didn't have any hidden creases or other maladies (SGC confirmed that with its grade this weekend).

Latest addition to my St. Louis Collection. I am up to 16 T206 Cardinals/Browns cards now, only 24 more to go... But I seriously doubt I'll ever get my hands on a Ray Demmitt or Bill OHara.

Hope to have these and a bunch more in hand within the next 10 days to two weeks. MOST of them will be available for sale. I will also be putting some up to a major auction house in the very near future.

This was the Profiles In History Glass Plate Negatives lot from their last auction. Lots of nice stuff including 17 Babe Ruths, 4 Walter Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, 3 Christy Mathewsons (one signing a baseball!!!), Frank Baker, etc.

You can certainly inquire about pricing. Many are known to be Bain photos.

That Gehrig photo really shocks me.

Not only is it incredible, but in a time where weight training was incomprehensible and most of the players lifted nothing but beers and lit cigars (talking to svelte Ruth there, lol) that guy is a bear compared to everyone.

Lol.

I look at those photos and think how much my high school baseball coach would have yelled if I choked that high on a bat at the plate. Times sure do change.

If I put up stats like Wagner I guess I might have got a pass. :D

Will most likely never afford the "Chicago on shirt - Hands on Knees" Tinker - but one with the faded "Chicago" will do (usually found on Sweet Cap. 150's from what I've seen.)

There's no such thing as a "Chicago on shirt- Hands on Knees" Tinker variation...I think you're thinking of the Mordecai Brown version.

I believe there is a variation with "Chicago" erased, and some of "Chicago" is visible.

Hee hee, unless they're White Castle. :D:D:D

I think I am about to hurl. The thought or smell of Whitecastle sliders give me that post drinking hangover feeling. I remember one time when my wife was in the hospital in St. Louis I picked some up to cheer her up and about gagged from the greasy smell of "Sliders". We still laugh abour it but to this day, no sliders for me.

Can I ask what the first name is at the top of the photo? Is it KASEL or KADEL or something else? I only ask as my last name is KASEL, so it would be cool to know that maybe some relative at some point in history had a hand in it.

Hey Leon,

I like your Kroger Bread card - Not sure if I have seen any of the others that you mentioned although it seems I vaguely remember something about them (probably from an old post of yours)? :)

My question: Do the other three known have the "hole" in them (probably from where they were tied to a bag)?

Side Note:

My friends & I used to buy cigars and smoke them out front of Kroger when we were young - not sure why just something we did... :rolleyes: Cool card...

[edjs]

The McArdle I've had a while, but the Tennant (thanks Andy!) and the Mohler (Leon, I think you owned this at one time?) are from Sep. I hate my scanner at home, and the one at work, which is awesome, hasn't been working, so I have put off scanning for a bit. I couldn't wait anymore. These three cards show the difference in scanners, did I say I hate my one at home?

Thanks, Dean and Mike. That little bit of crease in the lower right knocked it down to a two, which made it really affordable. I've been waiting for a while to find just this card, a little damage that doesn't really take away much of the aesthetics, but enough to keep the cost down! Happy to add it to my collection.

I won these three on eBay last weekend, and they arrived today. The eBay seller identified these and several other similar cards he had listed as "E121 blank back W575" cards - however, I am 99% certain they are W501-2 cards (Rhett, do you concur?).

I do concur. They will be on thin stock (like regular W501's), grainy images (like regular W501's) and no "G-4-22" nor number at top. I think W501-2 is a much better description for the set than to lump them along with regular W575-1's.

[T205 GB]

Thanks to Mark and Andy for the cards. They are great.

That is a great Joss. That cards shows the other part of a Joss next to it. I remember finding this card at Balt National in 2010. When I went back to buy it it was gone:( Neat card. Please post a pic of the back for us

Here is the back. It is my first and only Joss. It's the kind of card I take to a show, not really looking to sell,to have in the case to start cool conversations.

Actually this isn't it. Neat to see another close to what the other one had though. I believe Goodwin may have auctioned it or had it in his case at the show. Super neat card though

[MacDice]

another boomerang card from collection 1 that made it back to me....this one is scarce.

Nice card. That is only the second one that I have seen (I have one as well).

[ValKehl]

I do concur. They will be on thin stock (like regular W501's), grainy images (like regular W501's) and no "G-4-22" nor number at top. I think W501-2 is a much better description for the set than to lump them along with regular W575-1's.

Rhett, thanks for your confirmation. Yes, these 3 cards are on thin stock like regular W501s (which I now refer to as W501-1s). A very interesting aspect of these 3 cards is that someone, presumably whomever owned them before the eBay seller, wrote a number in pencil in the upper-right-hand corner of each card. This is exactly where the printed card number appears on a W501-1 card, AND the penciled numbers on these 3 cards are the correct printed card numbers that appear on the W501-1 cards of these 3 players; so, apparently, a prior owner did make the connection between these cards and the numbered W501-1s.

[freakhappy]

Saw this '39 Play Ball Ted Williams RC on the bay and BST two separate times and didn't act quick enough. It appeared on the bay again and had to have it. Kickin' myself for not acting fast enough the first couple times as I would've saved a little more...oh well. That being said...love the clean appearance and centering on this beauty. Card is red hot right now considering a PSA 8 sold at Mile High yesterday for nearly 15K. Just got it in hand and very pumped on the purchase.


Stunning psa 4 [emoji33]...congrats and enjoy!

Two Goudey upgrades. They might not look like much, but 8 years into working on the set, they are significant to me. :D:D:D

The Myer SGC 92 is the highest graded with only 5 SGC 84s. There have been only 6 PSA 8s graded. My set now stands at 187/240 SGC 88 or better.

The Moore SGC 84 is the highest graded with only 1 SGC 80 below it. There have only been 6 PSA 8s graded. It is off centered for sure, but it was the last card I needed to have my set all SGC 84 or better, except my SGC 82 Lajoie.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

You almost had competion for that one the centering was so nice. I bought the expensive one from that seller (not calling it out until I see tracking info, lol) and that budget hit kept me from anything else. ;)

Hoping the one I got looks as undergraded in real life as it does in the photos.

Thanks to JD Heckathorn for this T200. The T218 is my first boxing card, to add to my Jewish ball player collection (with a bit of a stretch on the ball player part). Leach Cross' birth name was Louis Wallach, and his nickname was "The Fighting Dentist".

[Iwantmorecards77]

Nice little addition...

[edjs]

Boy, are Red Cross cards getting harder for me or what. I guess I am now officially collecting the T226 as well. Koufax32fan, thanks for the info about Cross, I don't know anything about him, just that he is on a Red Cross tobacco card. You inspired me to post this one.

[iowadoc77]

Another one off the want list

Great card! love that image.

[mybuddyinc]

Quick OT: Leach Cross fought under that assumed name so his family and friends didn't know he was engaged in such a sport. Also interesting is the Bio. on the back of T218, were most of his fights were 5-15 rounds. On the East Coast (mainly NY and PA), fights had round limits, probably to appease the "anti-fighting" crowd. California (Colma), however, was wide open, no limits (but, I believe, around this time, set a limit of 45). There is a classic (imo) photo of "Fighting" Dick Hyland standing over the downed Cross. Cross looks exactly like he does in the cards shown above (even down to the perfect hair part), except he is horizontal !!!

Gott'a love that they misspelled Pugilist on the T226 !!!!!!!!!

Knight miscut in hand...Scans don't do it justice.

It's one of the best quality miscuts out there. Glad to have it back.

[CrazyDiamond]

a few more t206s - a couple different backs

I have to stop looking at it, I'm afraid I might drool on it. Sweet!

Congrats! Cleveland is a much tougher version than Washington and that's a very nice example

[edjs]

Finally able to find a Cobb Bat on Shoulder. :)

[familytoad]

Finally, my first and likely my last E123 Curtis Ireland...tough cards to capture a HOF player in...Max Carey representing!:p

[cardsfan73]

SGC submission came back. I had already peaked at the grades, but always a lot of fun to look at them in the new holders.

Some great looking cards Luke! My eye is drawn to the Tom Jones EPDG!

[cardsfan73]

a few more t206s - a couple different backs

I love that Jap Barbeau Cycle back! The American Beauty back is amazing!

Finally able to find a Cobb Bat on Shoulder. :)

Congrats on the Cobb!

[cardsfan73]

Purchased the card from a board member knowing it was trimmed, the overall eye appeal won me over. This card is one of my favorites in the T206 set.

It's always great seeing (drooling over) everyone's monthly pickups. This month did not disappoint. I had a month of firsts and very happy about it!

I finally got a Demmitt I could afford :)

I've fallen for the Kashin set, love that many of the photos were from Conlon. I think they are underrated and so many legends in the set. Time to add another set to my list...

[edjs]

Congrats on the Cobb!

Thanks!

[Seiklis]

Congrats! Cleveland is a much tougher version than Washington and that's a very nice example

Thanks Eric and Epps really happy to get another card checked off the run, especially one I passed on a few years ago

[cardsfan73]

Nice pick up on that Demmitt! Alas I am afraid that Demmitt & Ohara are two cards I won't be able to obtain to complete my T206 Cardinals & Browns team sets.

[tjb1952tjb]

New arrivals, Thanks, David B., B & L and Jerry...

J.J. Ward led quite a checkered life..........worth checking out.

Thanks Scott, it is always exciting to land one of the big cards, no matter the condition. Never say never, you just have to get creative. PayPal Credit allowed me to grab the Demmit. 6 months no interest, I pay just a little over a $125 a month and it makes it much easier. I picked up my O'hara from a board member who was incredibly generous in setting up a payment plan. You never know, be patient and something might just fall in your lap.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Matt...Companion for my Knight Miscut.

[Brian Van Horn]

Yeah, there's staining, but the price was right:

Justin,

Just an update. I hope your winning lot was undergraded. I was happy to find that when the McGraw arrived there wasn't a little white spot on the left side of the card on his face, so I photoshopped the card to reflect what the card is that I received. I was too lazy to try with my supposed "smart" phone. Before and after:

[Vintagecatcher]

Thrilled to add another Lionel Carter Collection card to my collection, a really nice Ivey Wingo T207, and I also upgraded my Mickey LaLonge 1909 Obak. This example is my 2nd "no frame" back.

So nice, thanks for sharing!!

Brian, nice pickup on the Mall Theatre. My $307.77 eBay bid with about 7 seconds remaining didn't register, as higher bids were placed a second or two earlier (I don't use a sniping service). Oh well, just another card you have that I covet! :)

Happy to add another affordable Cobb to my sons collection...boy I hope he likes baseball memorabilia when he gets older!😁

Thank you, Scott:

The death of my scanner has left me heartbroken as I look for something decent that scans graded cards. I am now left with an annoying HP that makes my graded cards look like I scanned through a tub of Vaseline. So anything graded gets the Iphone treatment...sorry guys.

Here's 3 T206 I could not live without this month.

One off my big dogs list (which really looks great...not even a micro-crease I can find. This one is getting broke out in hopes of a slight upgrade) and 2 for my printing collection (both Pied if you are wondering). I wish I could get a nice scan of the Hoffman because the color shift looks like a purposeful artist shadow. It's darn pretty...

Kind of an eclectic mix.
